Very nice painting. I imagine they'll be a colourful lot on the table. Are they for a particular ruleset?

THE CID · « **Reply #6 on:** November 19, 2013, 06:49:13 AM »

I think any 18th century rule set should cover them, I don't think there is any particular one. Thanks for the comments. THE CID.

I see that the government troops are starting to appear on the site. I will have to get some, great figures and Graham is a very friendly owner of the range. THE CID.

They look pretty decent mini's actually

.

What scale are they- say compared with the two extremes of Perry Mini's and Front Rank?

They are sculpted by Woody, so you are looking at way off scale being true 1/56th for Front rank (whihc are chunkier etc ) and taller and thinner than Perry, closest commercial range other than Minden miniatures/Fife and Drum (same sculptor) would be Conquest miniatures and these can seem more chunky, I used their artillery crew which tended to be more slender and the most noticeable aspect is proportional head, which are realisitc but for us gamers seem a little small

so take some getting used to

Thanks mate, what I expected really.

It would be interesting to see a comparison shot if anyone has the time?

Yes, they are slender compared to other ranges. But they have lots of detail and paint up really well. THE CID.

Nice figs and nice work on those breeks!

Thanks for the comments, there's some more Government troops coming shortly in the at ready pose and also in campaign dress with tricornes turned down.
Also the start of the Irish piquets aka Franchise infantry, so the range is starting to gain momentum
